No idea, but it shifts like a dream. Perhaps synthetic tranny fluids would be a good upgrade.
How is the air filter?
It has a K&N Filter, so I Just purchased the Cleaning and Oil Kit and cleaned it.
Did you check timing belt condition and tension?
Belt and Tension look great.
Is the cold start lever position to run when you posh the plunger in?
I have No Idea what this means
Are you using a tier 1 vs tier 3 rot gut diesel fuel?
I have no idea what this means
Have you checked the parking brake tension?
The Parking brake is not installed. It is new in the trunk ready for me to install.
Have you checked the rear wheel bearings?
Didnt think of that, but I you got me worried now...
Is the clutch petal adjusted properly?
The clutch pedal has short travel. In fact, I could almost shift gears without a clutch. Not sure what this is indicative of
Try going 55mph, but I bet the above wil leasily get you over 60mpg. 
Oh boy, I feel at 60MPH I am really pushing it. Perhaps as a last resort, but for now let the ecomods continue. |
So, I have effectively cleaned the K&N Filter/ Put Kleen Diesel fluid in gas tank, and deleted the cold air mod to a more traditional one.
I will stick to these modifications for now. See what changes the next 300ish miles then continue on to other mods.
Thank you all,
